Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum.
I have an 86 k10 Scottsdale short bed. I'm the original owner and am in the process of restoring it. It is in the restoration shop and I'm looking for some advice on some parts.
The truck has 9'' of lift i just replaced all the old rancho lift kit with new 6'' skyjacker easy ride springs. it also has a 3'' body lift, a worked over 350, and 3/4 ton axles, i installed ORD. shackles with greaseable pins and Kevlar bushings.
The headers need replacing they are from the 80's
Here is the first question does anyone know of headers that will clear the front shackles on the passenger side front spring. the new ORD shackles are much thicker than the stock ones and the bolts hit the header where the exhaust pipe and header flange connect. i had to grind down the old flange on the old headers to make clearance but would prefer to not do that on a new set of headers. and i would prefer long tube.
Thank you.
